Why is it masculine?
País is masculine in Portuguese. While it does derive from Latin roots related to "pagus" (territory/country), the masculine gender is better explained by the influence of Latin "pagensis" and the masculine noun forms it produced. However, the most straightforward explanation is that Portuguese inherited the masculine gender from its Latin predecessors, and this gender is consistently maintained in modern Portuguese for this word.
